I have and do all the time.

I actually dream of places before I go to them for the first time.

Sometimes I do something or meet someone and KNOW I have done that very thing before.

I also sometimes know people's names before I meet them.

I recently lost a family member to his own suicide. I am now having dreams of him. i have lost family members in the past and have only had a dream about one of them which was his father. Both deaths were unexpected and unexplained. i am trying to find out why I keep having these dreams. Are they trying to tell me something? They make me cry when I awake. Any answers?

Many questions on yahoo are about what should I do type.Should I do this or this. So I am asking how can we choose best in situations that seem similar or very different. How can we make correct decisions where both choices seem similar or one day B seems right, next day A! So this is a general question. How do you make good decisions. Please do not say to toss a coin, prioritise, or ask a friend. So if for example Decision time is now today and I have prioritised and reprioritised and asked ten friends and tossed ten coins and all seems the same. This seems to me to be such a important part of daily life.

is it more damaging if the child is young like 7 when it happens, and was told not only by the abuser, but by another person not to tell anyone because he will go to jail and the child will get in trouble???

Psychology, and people manipulation tactics? That didn't come out right... What I meant to say is: Can you recommend some books to me that deal with human relations? Similar to that book: How to Win Friends And Influence People. My intentions are good and all: I'm just highly interested in the subject. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some books like that to me?

Thanks a lot!

I done some research and found that the correlation was 0.09

Does that means there was hardly any correlation? Or does that mean there's a high correlation?

Any help appreciated, thanks

I noticed that within my circle of friends those that tend to be anal about how perfect their makeup is also tend to be this way in their everyday lives.

It seems like there is a positive correlation between makeup application and personality. Is there any research out there on this topic or am I just nuts?

Now I am not crazy I am just wanting some feed back from this question, please.

Starting about 5 years ago I started gaining weigh slowly and when people would ask me why I was gaining weight I would tell them it was a social experiment on how the world treats overweight people- females to be exact. When the truth was I had actually gained weight because I got sick and as a result of that I got lazy. Over the years I have steadly gained weight and I am at the point to where I am ready to loose it. through out the years, constantly telling everyone it was a social experiment has really got me thinking that it would actualy be a good Thesis for my senior project.

What I ask you today is..... What would be a good way to go about writing this paper? Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Okey.So this has plagued my mind for quite some now.I'v been an advocate for mind bending drugs since i was in high school,expeiramenting with just about everything under the sun(peyote, mushrooms, lsd, morning glory, weed) including some i wish i hadn't done(coke, some meth, nitrous, ketamine, micro*dots, and ha even nutmeg) Mostley doing psychedelics.Now having been sober for two years (just smoking some dank and drinking with friends) i overthink everything, im soo analytical it's hard for me to relate to alot of people (the other half of the people i click with instintly).It's also very hard to feel emotion,im like a robot or somthing. I feel like i have changed my chemical fountation to the core,.like i'v mutated into somthing else..somone else.i can live with that,i just find myself thinking i'm superior to some people (you would think i'd feel the exact oppisit)with "closed minds". My question is:psychedelics: transformation or self destruction?

I have an intuitive understanding of love and non-attachment: that while non-attachment to some people might seem like not caring, it actually enables you to care to a greater degree, to love in a fuller, deeper way. But I'm struggling to explain this to others. Can you help with a simple way of explaining this, ideally with examples?

ok, This is my 4th day of work, and it seems like every time before hand I freak out. Alot, I feel sick, my stomach hurts and my heart rate jumps. I have trouble breatheing, light headedness. I feel Afraid. big time. I don't understand fully, I won't be alone , even if I 'get in trouble' it's not really in trouble, more of 'oops'. No one is mean.
Does any one know of how to stop this, I'm shaking right now and want to throw up and cry. It's more scary right now like an hour before hand then when I am there. But this feeling is basicly ruining my day because I go to work at 4pm and the morning I have thing anxiety untill I go.
I've been trying to do breathing excersizes I've been learning from some buhddist books and to distract myself with some music and art I like, but I'm still freaking out physically.
Thank you anyone who decides to help.

Well for instance, dust is usually something really tiny. And its constantly in the air. Lets say some goes into your eyes, and you don't realize it. does it stay there? or do your tears push them out?

Everything that interests me professionaly and privately is hindered by my subconscious fear of public speaking. My heartrate gets out of control making it impossible to talk. Would anyone recommend for or against hypnosis in this case?
